Which of the following is not an accomplishment of suleiman the magnificent? a) took on bold military campaigns that increased the amount of territory controlled by the ottoman b) oversaw achievements of ottoman civilization in the fields of law, literature, art, and architecture c) overthrew constantinople, the capital of the byzantine empire d) adorned and modernized the cities of the islamic world with mosques, bridges, aqueducts, and other public works

C) Overthrew Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. 
 Suleiman the Magnificent was the 10th sultan of the Ottoman Empire and reigned from 1520 until his death in 1566.  
 A) Took on bold military campaigns that increased the amount of territory controlled by the Ottoman 
 * This is quite true. Suleiman engaged in campaigns in Europe, Persia, India, and Africa during his reign. So this is a bad choice. 
 B) Oversaw achievements of Ottoman civilization in the fields of law, literature, art, and architecture 
 * Also true. During his reign, he consolodated the judgements by the previous 9 sultans, eliminating duplications and conflicts. His resulting legal code then lasted for more than 300 years. He was also a patron of the arts, an accomplished poet, and sponsered a series of monumental architectural developments in his empire. So this is a bad choice. 
 C) Overthrew Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
 * False. Constantinople was overthrown in 1453 by the Ottoman empire and at the time of Suleiman's reign was the capital of the Ottoman empire. So this is the correct choice. 
 D) Adorned and modernized the cities of the Islamic world with mosques, bridges, aqueducts, and other public works
 * This choice is pretty much an extension of option "B" above. And as such is quite true. And therefore a bad choice.
